HISTORY The big day finally arrived--we felt we were really progressing now because at last we were a part ofthe assembly. At first wewere entire- ly lost and there were so many new things to learn we thought wewould never catch on--but with everyone helping us we soon began to feel at home. Now that we had completed half of our schooling, our class seemed to be steadily diminishing. Starting with thirty-two members we now had only fifteen. We welcomed two new students, Joyce Vaughn and Helen King but we lost Patsy Domenos, Bruce Maddy, Jerry Shaw, Belva Turner, David Lacy, and Norma Marshall. We elected Mrs. Fornwald as our first sponsor. Our eighth year brought Doris Walsh, Charles Russell, and Frances Nicely. Helen King with- drew. Mr. White was our sponsor. The year 1945 arrived and we were Freshmen. Of course like all Freshmen we were green and had to be initiated by the Sophomores. Although we felt pretty foolish, we had a lot of fun. Our class roll increased with the joining of Agatha Hartley and Max Kirkwood. Joyce Vaughn moved to California. Mrs. Fornwald was our sponsor this year. We lost three members during our Sophomore year, Fred Black, Doris Walsh, and Charles Russell and gained David Burton, Rayelda Tinkle, and Robert Needler, who rejoined us after four years. We were beginning to think about making money for our Senior Trip by this time. We elected Mrs. Fornwald as our sponsor who helped us with our activities. Among these were the making and selling of uwhoopie mops' for the County Tourney and the sponsoring of a class basketball tournament. Having reached the title of Juniors, we re- elected Mrs. Fornwahiasour sponsor.
